About 3 months ago I was driving and the motor shut off going down the highway. The car restarted after a few min. It started doing this 2-3 time a week to 2-3 times a day. Also sometimes I would turn the key and nothing try it several times and then it would work. I have noticed while driving it wont shut off but all the gauges go to zero including the speedometer, Its like I shut off the key. Now it wont start at all. I have replaced the battery, ignition switch and have moved some off the relays around under the hood. It has a sentry alarm thing so it takes a special key which I have not changed. Any suggestions would be great. I would also like to know how to bypass/ test the sentry system.

Honestly, I feel the problem lies in the aftermarket alarm. It can shut the vehicle down. As far as the sentury system, you need to contact someone that sells that system.

Not Cranking Over
When your engine is not cranking (turning) over it will be mainly due to three separate areas, first it could be the battery, cables or poor connection, next is the starter...
